Product details
Overview
R7F7010163AFP-C#KA4 from Renesas Electronics is a 32-bit RH850/F1KH-D8 automotive microcontroller featuring 1.5 MB on-chip flash memory, 128 KB RAM, and dual-lockstep CPU core architecture for ASIL-D functional safety compliance. It integrates CAN FD (up to 5 channels), LIN, Ethernet AVB, and hardware cryptographic acceleration (AES-128/256, SHA-256, RSA-2048) and targets body control modules, gateway ECUs, and domain controllers in modern vehicle architectures.
For engineers reviewing the R7F7010163AFP-C#KA4 datasheet, R7F7010163AFP-C#KA4 pinout, R7F7010163AFP-C#KA4 application, or R7F7010163AFP-C#KA4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, integrated safety mechanisms (ECC on flash/RAM, lockstep monitoring, BIST), real-time interrupt latency under 50 ns, and support for AUTOSAR 4.3+ and ISO 26262 tool qualification packages.
Technical Context
The R7F7010163AFP-C#KA4 implements a dual-core RH850 G3KH CPU with tightly coupled memory, synchronized execution, and hardware-assisted fault detection logic that continuously validates instruction fetch, decode, and execution paths. Its system-level safety architecture includes redundant clock monitors, voltage supervisors, and a dedicated Safety Support Core (SSC) managing FMEDA-verified diagnostic routines.
Peripheral integration centers on high-reliability communication: five CAN FD controllers with bit-rate switching up to 5 Mbps, one IEEE 802.3av-compliant Ethernet AVB MAC with time-triggered scheduling, and three LINFlexD modules supporting LIN 2.2A/SAE J2602. All critical peripherals feature independent error counters, FIFOs with parity protection, and configurable timeout recovery.
